[QUOTE="newusername, post: 4229047, member: 562064"] I don't put all of this on the mods. I think you guys do, for the most part, the best that you can. The lack of a forum director/super moderator between the mods and Goob does make managing the site more difficult. I don't necessarily expect the mods to run around deleting everything. I just think the membership as a whole (regular members and mods alike) should be making a more concerted effort to maintain a more friendly and inviting community where knowledge and interesting discourse is considered an asset. I think right now that none of those are true; post dumping, racism, ******, etc. are the "cool" things people are looking for. Regardless, it is a choice the collective members have to make....I just wish people made different choices. And I realize that people always say "it used to be better" because I've heard it on forums I've run before, too, but I don't think anyone can argue that the last 1-3 months hasn't been insane. The number of threads I am legitimately interested in has dwindled drastically (although I still spend way too much time here). Maybe that's me growing away from the direction of the site, but I hope not. I think with the right people in place and the right message from everyone, there is even greater potential in this site.
